Elwood occupies the west bank of the Missouri River in northeastern Kansas, directly opposite St. Joseph, Missouri. The river marks the Kansas–Missouri state line here, while the town belongs to the agricultural country of Doniphan County. In 1860, the Pony Express route crossed from St. Joseph to Elwood by ferry before continuing west, giving this small river town a direct link to one of America’s best-known mail services. Elwood’s identity remains tied to the Missouri River corridor and its larger neighbour across the water.
